Nice Suz, I guess Money Talks. I hate to think what he had to owe the Alderman though.
ReplyDeleteNice story Suz and nice reference to the Chicago way. I grew up knowing how gov officials in Chicago saved for their futures!
ReplyDeleteYep, sounds right to me, money does talk even when it comes to tights! Great take on the pic, Suz! Have a great week!

Very clevah take! Looks like PARIS (<--"Click") knows an alderman, too. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHis socks aren't nerdy, they are the ones worn for varicose veins!

ReplyDeleteClever and funny!
ReplyDeleteI joined in for the first time this week.
Ouch! If it only wasn't so sadly close to truth!
ReplyDeleteMakes me doubt any politicians coming out of Illinois...
He might have asked the alderman about the cane, while he was at it.
ReplyDeleteFashion and politics. Sounds like a dangerous combination. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere's that alderman? I need some tights, too.

ReplyDeleteI saw a man once with tattoos like that once. It did make me think of ancient Roman leggings.
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment.
hi suz! i've only been to the chicago airport...after reading your post i do have second thoughts on ever living there ;) this was a fun read, a lot for you to say in only 140 characters!
ReplyDeleteExcellent take on the high cost of fashion and politics.
ReplyDeleteVery funny! My dad has told me stories about the Chicago way. Thanks for the chuckle.
ReplyDeleteThey DO look like socks! Probably those ugly white ones that never stay white. Fun!
